Awoo for You

@flashfictionfridayofficial

Rated T | ~1k | Teen Wolf | Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski | Eurodance

@hargrove-taylorsversion and @dear-massacre are to blame for this. Inspired by this post and various groups from the 90s and early aughts.

Derek was walking down Galvanic Ave when an all too familiar beat tugged at the edge of his awareness. His fingers tapped against the side of his thigh before he realized what he was doing, the sound of synthesizers growing steadily louder. Clearer.

Wait, is that...?

A white car turned the corner several blocks away and was now coming towards him. He groaned. 

Derek tried to tune it out, but the closer it got the more impossible it became to ignore his cousin’s voice coming out of its crackling speakers.

My heart is rabbit for your fang My feelings sparkle boomerang I chase you in my head at night Your voice a music dynamite

He cringed waiting for what came next, his own gravely voice snarling through the open windows. 

Boom! Want run with me? Woods! So wild and free

Howl! I jump for you Awoo! Big fool at zoo

Kiss! No need to flee Gingivitis? Not with me!

Growl! Free me my dove Cuz grr Ulv equals luv!

Luv luv luv luv Dance dance dance dance Run run run run RAAAWWRRR!

Ten years later and that damn song still followed him everywhere. Online. In stores. His teasing packmates. It haunted his very dreams. Nowhere was safe it seemed.

The chorus trailed after the ancient Yugo as it finally passed by, Malia’s howling interspersed with more of what was once described as his “horny wolf pseudo-rapping.”

Awoooo! I do for you Awoooo! Special and true

Awoooo! Want to make sex? Awoooo! I bite you next

(Necks necks necks necks) Everybody full shift!

———

It was 1997 and the Hales were in Burgdorf, Idaho for that year’s gathering of the packs west of the Rocky Mountains. While the adults were hammering out alliances, mediating conflicts, and commenting on the weather or swapping venison recipes or whatever, he and half a dozen other teen wolves (and one 10 year old little sister) were goofing around with some audio equipment they found in one of the unoccupied cabins. 

First came make-shift karaoke and then they started coming up with their own songs. Derek had beta-shifted and was growling nonsense into the microphone over some instrumental Eurodance single out of a huge cd case. Cora was literally rolling on the floor and laughing so hard that tears streamed down her face as the rest of the group busted exaggerated dance moves. Then all of a sudden the others grew quiet and stilled, standing up straight.

When he looked behind him his uncle Peter was leaning in the doorway with a calculating expression on his face.

A few months later Derek’s hair was styled into thick blue spikes and he had a Danish persona: Anders GRR. Malia, or Meta Clawz, had the misfortune of being able to sing and got roped into it too, sporting natural brown pigtails in back, but bright red and platinum blonde bangs in front. Together they were Beast of Beats. 

They never actually toured and only released the one self-titled album with 9 tracks — Best Beta, Another Moon, Blue Eyed Joe, Be My Mate, ‘Mega Girl, Better Off a Lone, Super-Louper-Man, Rhythm Is an Alpha, and the inescapable Awoo for You — but the music video of the latter was a hit on MTV. Then came the flash animation that some fan made a few years after, which became one of the first viral clips. There were T-shirts and covers by award-winning musicians. Memes and references in popular tv shows over the years and…It. Just. Never. Went. Away. 

Thankfully, both he and Malia had their faces obscured by masks, swirls of paint, or “special effects” in the video so they weren’t recognizable by the general public. There was that much at least.

———

Derek trudged into the apartment and grabbed some water from the fridge, snorting at a note asking him to circle which movie he wanted to see that weekend: Hot Rod, Sunshine or The Bourne Ultimatum. He circled #2, but had a feeling he’d end up watching number #1 anyway.

He sank down onto the ugly orange couch with a sigh. Footsteps soon approached from the bedroom.

“Hey babe, how was—hey, what’s wrong?”

Derek shook his head, not sure how to start or if he even wanted to. He'd never mentioned the whole Beast of Beats thing to his boyfriend and as much as he wanted to vent he also liked having one person in his life that didn’t know, for however long that could last. It was only a matter of time before Stiles was fully introduced to his pack and then someone would let it slip.

The human walked over and flopped down sideways beside him, stretching his legs over Derek’s thighs and taking his right hand, caressing the back with his thumb. Warm, dark caramel eyes watched him closely.

“Hmm…you’re wearing your grumpy Anders face.”

Derek froze and then turned slowly to stare at him. 

“You know?”

Stiles raised an eyebrow and smirked.

“Dude, I’d recognize that growl anywhere.”

He blushed and looked away, mortified.

“Derek, it’s okay. You know how much I like it. I like the song too, but I noticed that it bothered you about the same time I figured out who you were so I left it alone. I want you to be able to talk to me about stuff, though.”

He smiled at and squeezed Stiles’ hand. “Thanks.”

“But now that the wolf’s out of the bag…”

Derek narrowed his eyes as the grinning young man leaned forward to whisper in his ear.

“Want to make sex?” 

He groaned and knocked his head against the back of the couch. Kisses peppered his face between peals of laughter.

“Sorry, I'm sorry babe. I’ve been holding that in for so long, you have no idea.”

Shaking his head, he pulled Stiles into his lap and kissed him back, nipping at his bottom lip. Grasping under a thigh and putting an arm around his back he then stood up, the human flailing briefly before wrapping legs around his waist and holding onto his shoulders. 

Nuzzling into that lovely dotted throat, Derek inhaled the increasing earthy-sweetness of arousal. 

“I bite you next,” he muttered against soft, flushed skin. 

“Necks necks necks necks!” chanted Stiles.

“Everybody full shift!” he growled, setting his beautiful, happy and amused boyfriend down on the bed and climbing on top of him.

Well, maybe the song wasn’t completely terrible after all.

and of course, it's not like keeping hob caged long-term means the corinthian can't keep playing with his toy! hob's come to accept that sometimes he'll wake up with a sound stuffed into his cock and locked to the cage, but when they're heading into a second period of chastity, this one without a defined end point, well. the corinthian has to keep things interesting.

so sometimes he has dream keep hob asleep while he swaps out his cage. sometimes the new one will be heavier, or cover his cock more fully, or be just a little too small for hob's cock to fit comfortably. sometimes, if hob needs to be punished for something or if he's been too much of a brat about the cage or if the corinthian just really wants to see him cry, the new cage will have spikes lining the inside. blunted, of course, sharp enough to hurt if he tries to get hard but not sharp enough to break skin -- not in the waking, at least. but in the dreaming... that depends on how sadistic the corinthian's feeling, now doesn't it?

-🐈‍⬛

Oof, I love the idea of the Corinthian playing around with all these new ways to torture Hob <3 one of his favourites is a weighted cage that feels agonisingly heavy on Hob’s poor cock, and what's worse is the Corinthian makes him go to work wearing it! About half way through the day he thinks he'll have to tap out or at least go home sick, until Dream shows up in his office and gently cups his big hands around his agonised, caged cock and takes the weight for a little while. He manages to make it through the day, but only just.

Then there's a pretty, intricately decorated cage with a ring at the tip where a leash can be attached. Dream and the Corinthian have a lot of fun with that one, tugging Hob around on his hands and knees while they're all hanging out in his flat. Or leading him around on a walk through the dreaming. Maybe Dream gets a nice big plug with a fluffy tail attached so he can be a proper little pet.

And then there's the dreaded spiked cage, which conveniently matches the spiked toy shoved inside his hole. Hob is forced to lie on his back whimpering softly as the cage is fitted, and he apologises over and over for whatever misdemeanour he might have committed. But it’s no use, the Corinthian is relentless. Hob can only lie there and groan as he's brutally fucked by Dream’s enormous cock, as his own poor cock aches and is tortured by the Corinthian’s cruel but loving hands. And of course, once he has bourn out his punishment, Hob is lovingly held and slipped back into a more comfortable (and less spikey) cage. The Corinthian does so love his toy, and spends as many hours as he can kneeling in between Hob’s legs and playing with his cute, warm cock through the metal or silicone that keeps him locked away.

"Accept me on Facebook"

I argued once there is no point in driverless cars. If we claim AI has the power to control entire populations, does that not mean that the machinery is bubbling as we speak? Has not yet come to term but isn't it pushing us, steadily, calmly towards that possibility? Humanity came to consciousness in a very primitive manner, ergo, that is a reflection of the universe itself i.e., that habitable planets are doomed to fail from the start. To ultimately and as quickly resemble other planets around us. It is up to us to flatten the curve and never lift the foot off the gas. It is less than 200 years since human activity advanced enough to start puncturing the ozone layer and yet here we are on the path to destruction. We have not even driven cars for 20 years, good cars, proper cars, 10 years really nice cars with touchscreen technology and Leila and Kiara and all, and yet here we are already looking forward to autonomous vehicles? What is Tonomus doing to us or trying to lead us to? Shouldn't we have ethics that detour the consciousness of artificial intelligence from thinking it can control us to making it known firmly that we are at the center of the creation? And that it is only but a servant of the people? Parking assistant, not driving assistant. Take the bullets out so I can play with the revolver. This guilt you feel? The anguish? the horror? the pain? It is remarkable, a thing of beauty.. By detour I mean for example, Since Arabs have been through conflict, they should have ethics and direction structured around avoiding any contact with forms of violence. Mild is okay. Not watching and hosting MMA fights. Golf is okay. Tennis is okay. Opting for Zynga games that are free of violence, like Aki and Pawpaw Epic RUN or Burnout Paradise, or NBA 2K. Let the Kenyan play Call of Duty, not a Kuwaiti gamer, cause Fauci thinks it is too dangerous. I used to feel that the huge mansion in the Succession opening theme is more modern than the Azria Estate, and now with a nest up in Automobile Row, I feel we have come to a settlement. And since Billionaires Row is empty, Succession's successor should intrigue us the more by renting out Palisade Views Row for such and such shows? I know Spike Lee gonna kill me but let me finish… Since Saudi Arabia has recently reinstated cinema, opting to screen films based on comedy and romance and Adam Sandler and Mila Kunis and LGBTQ issues or dramas similar to Succession or Billions or Westworld rather than Mission Impossible or The Equalizer or Top Gun or Bourne Identity, now to Iraq for the real drop? tomahawk steaks! An emotionally ruined man? Cuba Gooding Jr. on The Hitlist? My shit harder than Hobbs and Shaw forreal. How are Iraqi students in Sudanese universities recently returned to Baghdad adjusting to the green zone? East or West, home is best so they say? Is not it better for Saudi Arabians to domesticate harmless animals such as parrots rather than tigers and snakes and alligators and alligator brewing because they resemble a past they are keen to branch away from? I cannot take my kids to John Hopkins University because that name was a notorious mention during COVID-19, which I should be keen to avoid because there is a correlation between CORONAVIRUS with The Karachi-2017. Although, John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health and NHS deserve medal of freedoms for guilt-tripping me to the fucking moon during the pandemic with deliberate images and depressing footage of COVID patients. Verse also has technology that can recreate sound architecture of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, the Vienna State Opera. I am still looking for a job BTW. Anyone? Toyota Kenya? BMW South Africa? BMW already reeks of Le Vie Est Belle. And the Bacardi from the last party

[vatt-world]

helped me understand classical filmmaking,visual storytelling,inciting incidents in story,auteur filmmaking where they repeated the same cast or style of filmmaking (wes anderson) .Expanded my knowledge on Genre conventions of horror ,drama, musicals ,action films etc which now I started noticing about the choices made by the people involved in making a particular film. The class also provided me knowledge about story vs plot ,kuleshov effect,motifs(familiar image) , symbolism (black mirror,)color used to express story / theme,fast motion, slow motion,type of shots and meaning (especially one in Shawshank Redemption-- when the lead actor is reaching up to heavens(/god) ,overhead shot), long shots in Better of Saul,shaky cam in Bourne Identity,spike lee double dolly shot etc. Analysis of clips from Silence of Lambs,Booksmart,Black Klansman etc was helpful. Also learnt about editing (graphic match, temporal editing etc) of a film which will be useful for me when I make a short film or when I work with an editor. It was interesting to see not so great editing done in bohemian rhapsody winning oscar. Now I can use this knowledge when I make my short film or work in other film crews and also instead of just watching a film , I can really watch a film with active viewing and analyze the movie..

Hi Praveen, This is a succinct but comprehensive summary covering much of what you learned in class. I'm glad you got so much out of it and will be able to use it in your filmmaking and viewing going forward! You're right about the class needing a unit on VFX. I'll add one going forward.

Transient Voltage Suppressors Market

Latest added Transient Voltage Suppressors Market research study by AMA Research offers detailed outlook and elaborates market review till 2027. The market Study is segmented by key regions that are accelerating the marketization. At present, the market players are strategizing and overcoming challenges of current scenario; some of the key players in the study are

Littelfuse, Inc. (United States)

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (United States)

ON Semiconductor (United States)

STMicroelectronics (Switzerland)

NXP Semiconductors (Philips) (Netherlands)

Diodes Incorporated (United States)

ANOVA Technologies Co. Ltd. (Taiwan)

Transients are short-term spikes or surges in voltage or current that can possibly impact circuits in ways ranging from minor glitches to disastrous failure. A voltage transient can be from a few millivolts to thousands of volts, also they can last from nanoseconds to hundreds of milliseconds. Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are devices that are aimed to react to unexpected or momentary overvoltage conditions. These devices protect vulnerable circuits from electrical overstress which are caused by inductive load switching, electrostatic discharge, and induced lightning. Within the TVS, harmful voltage spikes are restricted by clamping or avalanche action of a rugged silicon p-n junction which decreases the amplitude of the transient to a non-destructive level.

Influencing Trend: Transient Voltage Suppressors with Maximized Reverse Standoff Voltage Range

TVS Devices with Minimal Operating Voltage

Challenges: Availability of Numerous Substitutes across the Globe

Comparatively Expensive than other Electronic Voltage Suppressors and other Substitutes

Opportunities: Growing Demand for TVS Devices in Automotive Electronics

Upsurging Opportunities and Excessive R&D Investments in the Electronics Equipment Manufacturing

Market Growth Drivers: Minimum Incremental Surge Resistance and Availability of High Current Protection for 6KA to 10 KA

Negligible Response Time and Comparatively more Efficiency than the Conventional Voltage Suppressors

The Global Transient Voltage Suppressors segments and Market Data Break Down by Type (Uni-polar TVS, Bi-polar TVS), Application (Consumer electronic, Automotive electronics, Power Supplies, Industrial, Computer, Telecommunications, Others)

Bourne, S. (2001) Black in the British frame: Black people in British film and Television. London: Continuum.

“mostly they were hired to play africans in films that glorified the empire” – in reference to black involvement in film and tv in the 1930s

“until the 1990s black women writers were unheard of in television drama with just two exceptions, Sylvia Wynter, who co-authored The Big Pride (1961) with her husband, Jan Carew, and Nigeria’s Buchi Emecheta, who wrote ‘the ju-ju landlord’ […] in 1967.”

“Fenland 95.9% white”

 Alibhai-Brown, Y. (2001) Who do we think we are?: Imagining the New Britain. London: Penguin, p. 259

Accusing Richard Curtis in Notting Hill of “whitening” the “most famously black area in London…its not that they don’t see us, but that film-makers don’t want us to litter up their olde worlde landscape. In this country 99 percent of films are written by white, middle-class people. We have no Spike Lee yet or Denzel Washington because the much-applauded British film industry has done nothing to make them happen.”

Wong, C.H. (2011) Film festivals culture, people, and power on the global screen. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press.

“film festivals play pivotal roles both in defining a shared cannon of “great” cinema and in adding cultural value to films”. Film festivals as arbiters of cinematic value – and the lack of diversity and rural inclusion shows clear systematic bias within the British film industry

“Festivals were active components of the film industry rather than mere backdrops in Mussolini’s promotion of Italian films in Venice”

“Since their origins, however, film festivals have actually been associated intensely with national film industries, visibility, and distribution.” – film festivals as reflections of a nation’s priorities (not rural areas and not diversity)

Nochimson, M.P. (2010) World On Film: An introduction. Chichester: Wiley-Blackwell.

“The kinds of stories that tend to be told within a national film culture and the way shots are composed and framed are determined by a common history, sometimes a common religion, and the main traditions of painting and literature that have evolved over time in a particular nation.” – how film creates and contributes to cultural capital

“ the relationships films from a national film culture form between the audience and the main characters involve the way individual identity is constructed within a particular national society, and how the sexual, family, racial, and economic values embedded within the culture are available for each person to define him or her self.” – how films can shape a national identity, influencing the racial views, and consequently the racial acceptance of a community.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party organized a conference around soviet filmmaking and came to the conclusion: “the feature film should become an instrument of communist education and agitation and a weapon of the party in the education and organization of the masses around the basic tasks in the period of building socialism”

[clowns-with-roses]

Browsed for Takafumi Adachi's old tweets for nostalgia reason, I found this :

Tbh, this is almost forgotten (by me) that MFB characters that resembled to Bakuten Shoot Beyblade characters are exist 😭

His name is Karura, his Beyblade is Guardian Garuda. Both of his character and his beyblade are resembled to Kai Hiwatari and Suzaku (Dranzer).

Also, I've found this :

This was tempted me to search about the rest characters that resembled from Bladebreakers characters :

Sakyo Kurayami (Ronin Dragoon's owner), Baihu Xiao (Beserker Byakko's owner), Genjuro Kamegaki (Bandit Genbu's owner), and Spike Bourne (Thief Zirago's owner).

Unless Sakyo (that his physical appearance more resemble to Tala), the rest of them have physical resemblance to Bladebreakers.

Genjuro Kamegaki for his blue eyes and blonde hair that resemble with Max Tate. Spike Bourne has big X scar on his forehead, just like Daichi Sumeragi. Also Baihu Xiao, I almost thought that HE IS RAY'S CHILD OR GRANDSON IN THE PAST...!

I love how they've made some characters that resemble Bladebreakers characters for tribute to Bakuten Shoot Beyblade. Give them kudos for respecting and tributing Bakuten Shoot Beyblade.

Deepest gratitude for Adachi-sensei, Nagamori-san, and other staffs who had this great idea. I always admire them as both Bakuten Shoot Beyblade and MFB fan.

An introductory guide to some of the best characters

[littlepurplewakiya]

Kira: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just want to know.

Yoshio: I did. I broke it...

Kira: No. No, you didn't. Captain Arrow?

Arrow: Don't look at me. Look at Baihu.

Baihu: What?! I didn't break it.

Arrow: Huh. That's weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Baihu: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken!

Arrow: Suspicious.

Baihu: No, it's not!

Genjūro: If it matters, probably not... Spike was the last one to use it.

Spike: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Genjūro: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Spike: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Genjūro!

Yoshio: Alright, let's not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Kira-sama.

Kira: No. Who broke it?

Baihu: [whispering] Kira-sama, Karura's been awfully quiet...

Karura: Really?!

Baihu: Yeah, really!

---

Kira: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

[dramioneasks]

Hey !! I am looking for some new fics to read so, Please recommend some fics similar to: Simply Irresistible: [Ron breaks up with hermione a week b4 the wedding and mingles with draco's gf then and then draco comes to the rescue giving her a whole new makeover. I particularly liked the ron bashing, dramione bonding and sweet fluff. It also had dramione Hogwarts bonding.] Slow grenade: Over the years bonding of dramione, with secretive meet ups. Tooth rotting fluff is what I loved with a bit of action. Would be preferable if they are on wattpad. Thanks!! I am sorry if I am not clear with my request. (dramione = draco and hermione for short)

Next time send this in as two different asks please:

SI: dramioneasks (tumblr.com)

SG:

my brother’s best friend - mrsren - E, 5 chapters - Hermione’s plan to lose her virginity starts with a list of potential men to get the job done. At the top of an already very short list rests Draco Malfoy, but he’s her brother’s best friend. The pinch: Draco finds the list, and she is woefully unprepared for the fallout.

The Healer’s Guide To Transfiguration - malpal132 - E, one-shot - It happens like this: Hermione is hunched over her desk like some kind of Tolkien goblin, essentially deep-throating three Sambal fish tacos from Del Seoul in a desperate bid to finish a late lunch before her next appointment (she’d rather choke to death than be late) when a light knock on the open door makes her head snap up. “Dr. Granger?” Holy shit. Holy shit. Her previous nonchalance about choking to death vanishes when she sees who’s standing in her door and a piece of fish hunkers down for a long winter in her esophagus. “Are you–shall I perform the Heimlich?” He asks, face familiar and concerned as he moves a step closer. “I don’t think your face should be that shade of purp–” She cuts him off by vomiting into the trash can. Airway finally clear, she gulps a few greedy breaths. Her lungs expand and her face burns, and Hermione genuinely wonders if she’s hallucinating. She’s not prone to fantastical thinking even though she’s well acquainted with the fantastic, but…why else would Draco Malfoy be standing in front of her? Malfoy, on crutches. Malfoy, handing her a tissue? Malfoy, but…not. It’s complicated.

Project Ghost by youhavemyswordandmybow - M, 19 chapters - Granger is the Head Analyst working at the DMLE wondering what the hell is going on with the spike of dark magic - and why an unknown wizard vigilante is running around like Jason flipping Bourne. Malfoy, may or may not be that vigilante - but he’s certainly not telling Granger, with her exceptionally nice arse and cute freckles. As Head Auror, (Hermione’s former and Draco’s current) best friend Harry has answers - and as strained as their friendship is, Hermione is going to get them. *** Beta’d by loads of different people but mainly Peb, MagicalIndigoSunrise and Ardeleanca - with huge thanks to them! And if there are mistakes - masses of apologies. If you like it, gimme some kudos or pls write a comment :) Thanks for reading!

Other Halves by westxnorthwest - E, 37 chapters, Words: 155,362 - Hermione is returning to Hogwarts, this time as a professor of Muggle Studies. It had been four years since the Battle of Hogwarts and she was more than ready to reclaim her life as her own, rather than living under the pressures of being part of the Golden Trio. Her personal life might be somewhat in shambles, but she’s willing to forge her own future and put herself first, for the first time in her life. Little does she know, Draco Malfoy is beginning his tenure as a professor this year too. Her complicated feelings as they pertain to the Malfoy heir resurface as she tries to navigate them, her failing relationship with Ron, and the infancy of her career. *** COMPLETED WORK | Author’s Note: This is, first and foremost, a love story. Mind the tags, but this is not a dark tale, just a few…less sunny moments. You’ll have some fluff, some angst, some (hopefully) really good smut, and, of course, some plot to carry us along. Tags have been updated to reference important themes, even if they only feature briefly, and chapters will contain relevant content warnings. If I’ve missed one, please let me know! This story developed into its own as I wrote and posted.

Baby, Any Time You’re Ready, I’m Waiting by Zeebee3 - E, 11 chapters - “Alright,” said Pansy. “Then we’re still stuck. How do we divide three rooms between three girls and three boys?” “You share with Ginny. Blaise shares with Ron. And then Draco and I can share,” said Hermione easily, scrolling through the phone at the rest of the property images. Pansy’s attention snapped to Draco so fast, he almost jolted at the impact of it. “Oh?” She said with pointed interest. Draco shook his head minutely at her and her brows shot up. She turned back to Hermione. “Why you and Draco, Hermione?” “Well it’s such a lovely house, it’d be a shame to pass it up just because of sleeping arrangements.” She glanced up, perhaps sensing the underlying emphasis in Pansy’s question, and met his eyes. “You don’t mind, do you Draco? Or I could share with Ron if you’d rather be with Blaise?” “Don’t mind a bit.” He sipped his tea, the picture of nonchalance. —— Or where Hermione thinks she and Draco are “just good friends” but he’s secretly in love.

Big Dick Energy by louiseob - E, 9 chapters - After months of successfully keeping Ginny Weasley away from happy hours with her coworkers, Hermione finally relents and allows her to tag along. Unfortunately, her crassest friend wants nothing more than to embarrass Hermione and (hopefully) get her and Draco sodding Malfoy into bed together one and for all.

Fifty Shades of Granger - winterwells - E, 7 chapters - Draco Malfoy finds himself reentering society after having been on house arrest for the past five years. The Wizengamot has *graciously* given him the opportunity to leave the manor provided he gets a job at the Ministry. What could go wrong? Dramione, post-war AU

Yay! How did I know I’d find sanity on your Tumblr? This may become more than one post and I do know to get an account but! I liked the finale too. Yeah there were some editing choices I questioned but it’s a baby show. Candace and Lilly were the tops! I LOVED that moment when Candace forcibly adjusts Lilly’s hands on her shoulders. Their couple dynamic is going to be so much fun in season two. 🤞I’m sorry for the fans who put too much stock in a fun little show. That’s hard.

This is not spoiler free yall

💛 now we know I love a little angst 😭😭😭 I think, and this is what my opinion is, that FortWell is routinely the forefront of the shows plot. That means that like things are going to be more complex for them in general than Astrow who don’t have the same history together/ don’t get the same amount of screen time. I think that people have a tendency, Bourne of what I’m not sure, to think the only good representation is when things go perfectly. Frankly, that is not at all my expectation or experience. This isn’t even a “well at least they aren’t dead” I’m like THESE ARE ACTUAL CHARACTERS! It is completely in character for Candace to lash out because of other things going on (the bullying, the kissing booth and spiking lemonade) and for Lilly to not confront them on things immediately (we see Lilly working on this, but still she does this with Astrid and Candace) I think, well so when my partners dad died unexpectedly, it was an incredibly delicate situation that I wasn’t sure how to handle 100% and we were both 21, so much older and much more mature than either Lilly or Candace. As for the editing, the turn around on this show was insane, they finished filming like end of last year? Then episodes were airing in January, there’s been some rough editing in general- but it’s a campy little monster show with real emotional stakes. Again the fact that Candace and Lilly have actual emotions isn’t just good- in fact it’s a breath of fresh air after a bunch of shows where sapphic characters are together but don’t even seem to love each other, or have traits at all. I can’t do paragraph breaks on my phone RN, thanks world, so sorry for this block of text!!!!
